Saturday
The Annual Wake Forest Easter Vigil
April 19, 2025 | 7:15 p.m. | Wait Chapel
This service invites us to lean into what it means to keep vigil in contemporary times as people face stark realities and frightening uncertainties in their lives and communities. Keeping vigil as a spiritual practice cultivates attentiveness to what is happening in the world and to how God is with us in this present moment.
